What amount of anime do you like in your games?

Influenced? Yoshida always loves his thighs and he's been drawing since the 90s. Like, Ashe's ass and thighs are as great as they can get, but I don't think the phrase "Zettai Ryouiki" picked up its current meaning when Ashe's design was revealed in 2003.
Maybe he's part of the reason the fetish started in the first place.
THANK YOU
DANGEROUSLY CHEESE FOR LIFE
TIME TO GO DANCE WITH ANGELS
Go on. Please tell me more. I'm dying to hear your rationale behind this superbly well-thought out statement.
The Wrong Trousers has the best chase sequence ever animated.
But you seem to love God of War and it was well established on the last page that God of War's fight scenes are extremely anime.
How do you reconcile your well-advertised distaste of anything anime and Japanese-made with The Stranger doing superspeed anime zigzags straight out of Devil May Cry on Kratos?
I'm only half-joking.
I'm pretty happy with any game as long as it sticks to a range of somewhere between 0% anime, and 100% anime.
Anime seems to be a meaningless term on ERA/GAF... but not as meaningless as in the Smash community!
It's entirely dependent on the quality of the anime elements.
Have the tropes been run into the ground? If so, then probably not those.

I didn't know what you were talking about. The bar for too anime varies from person to person. I have had people try to tell me street fighter or tekken isn't anime. Two games that litterally have folks going various levels of super saiyan and school girls in it, but soul calibur is inherently somehow more anime.
The matric for what is " anime " needs to be defined, what you talking about tropes? Art style, because a lot of that shit isn't japan specific.
But now that you actually defined by what you mean by " anime" I can understand your complaints, at least from your perspective. And I would agree i'm not fond of that for the most part either, but I label that as " harem/waifu/husbando shit " rather than just " anime "
I'd rather not have it at all, but if a game can do it well, like P5 does (well, most of the time), I don't mind it.
Just don't go to Xenoblade 2 levels of cringe.

Well none of the titans are girls beyond the Female, and are all drawn to be uncanny-valley scary, so even then I wouldnt consider that
You should play better anime games then :)
All of the anime, give me every single percent of anime. Anime artwork is the best, it's better than real life.
Depends on the kind of anime. Trash like Xenoblade 2? 0%, harem garbage has zero appeal to me, it's mindless pandering with zero artistic merit and all corporate handwaving.
Stuff like psycho pass, valkyrie profile (or even valkyria chronicles) - 30%. This stuff's good.
Stuff like Utena, Yuri on Ice, Simoun, Rolling Girls or Sailor Moon: 2000%.
Anime's not monolithic, some of it is worthless, other stuff is nice. It's a shame Utena-like games don't exist :/

I have built up a high amount of Anime resistance over the years, so I can stomach full anime just fine.
It doesn't have to be there though, and some of the more problematic elements are tolerated more so than enjoyed.

I usually like 0% anime in my games. But sometimes I do like 100% anime, like Tokyo Xanadu. That game is anime as fuck, but I quite liked it. I was traveling and bought it for my Vita to play on the trip.
I like my games to be anime enough that I can't walk into a thread about them on Era without the exact same cast of characters whinging about them and how they'd love to play this game if only it was an entirely different game. Bonus points if goalposts get moved and other obviously anime-inspired games get a free pass because "when I say anime I don't mean anime I mean a specific kind of anime, that game is different because I like it."
Just remembered season 2 had one that was clearly different, so nevermind that lol
I tend to gravitate more towards games with less anime style. That's not to say I completely avoid it, as some of my most favourite franchises are from Japan and tend to have anime aspects to them (especially stuff like Ace Attorney). I don't even mind some super anime JRPG cheese if the game is good, like Eternal Sonata. If it has overt fan service or pandering to the waifu base, though, you already lost me.
There's games that have sexualization that I don't mind as much, like Bayonetta, but I feel like there's a mile of difference between Bayonetta and the typical anime waifu.

Is this considered fan-service now? haha. I remember the manga used to have Mikasa inserts at the end of each volume, usually in a different costume from different time periods and styles. An MMA costume once! Mikasa always been known for her abs, which I adore (abs are sexy after all), but Annie still best girl.
============
Ahem.
Are we talkin' like 90's anime or right now anime? Can't honestly say I like too much modern styles, but it doesn't actively deter me either since the most important aspect is always story and good characters to me.
Any amount is fine with me I guess as long as the story pans out in the end. :)
These days, thanks to all the damn fanservice, None.
I simply can't trust games like that anymore, before you know it a 10 year old girl is flashing you her panties and bra, with breasts the size of water melons. And that HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HOOOORRIBLE, Porn like voice acting for "giggles" "oooooh" and the moans together with those sound effects. Never again shall I fall for that and have that blasted into my face on a big screen, if it has ANY chance of fanservice, I keep away from it.
Simply can't trust it.
